Monique Fasel has vowed to remove Celina and Stephanie Yavelows father Christopher Yavelow from their lives totally, absolutely, and forever. On October 1, 1999, she requested a court order that he be denied all parental rights of access. The court granted this request. In doing so the court violated Dutch laws by not even considering the children's wishes in this matter and the court violated articles 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19 of The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child an international treaty to which the Netherlands is a party.
It is interesting to note that in making this request, Fasel demonstrated that her intent to remove the children from the United States with the clear "intent to obstruct the lawful exercise of parental rights" of Christopher Yavelow as defined by the International Parental Kidnapping Act. Thus, she became guilty of International Parental Kidnapping (see this document too).
Because of a perverse relationship with her own father that has been confirmed by her therapist Fasel erroneously imagines that this is in the best interests of the children. Lets look at some of the statistics about the impact of fatherlessness upon children and see to what kind of life she will inflict on the children.
